(Smer. MOTHER’S I'd a dream to-night As I fell asleep; Oh! the touching sight Makes me still to weep; Os my little lad; Gone to leave me sad, P 7 Aye, the child I had, But was not to keep. As in heaven high I my child did seek, There, in train, came by Children fair and meek, Bach in lily white, With a lamp alight; , ./Each was clear to sight, But they did not speak. < 1 Then, a little sad, Came my child in turn, But the lamp he had, Oh! it did not burn; He, to clear my doubt, Baid, half turned about, “Your tears put it out; Mother, never mourn.” Good Hams. After hams have been smoked, take them down, and thoroughly rub the flesh part with molasses, then immediately apply ground or powdered pepper, by sprinkling on as much as will stick to the molasses, when they must be hung tip again to dry. Hams treated in this manner will keep perfectly sweet for two or three years. This ; must be done before the fly deposits its eggs, for after that is done nothing will stop their ravages.— The above has been practiced in our section for more than twenty j .rears. No soaking is necessary. i One pint of molasses and one or , two pounds of black pepper are ’ sufficient for any ordinary family. | Try this plan if you want good j sweet hams.— Hural America. Bone jFelon. Os all painful things can there ; be any so excruciatingly painfull ns a bone felcn? We know of j none that flesh is heir to, and as | this malady is quite frequent and i the subject of much earnest con- i sideration, we give the latest recipe i for its cure. 'which is given by' that high authority, the London ’ Lancet: “As soon as the pulsa-' tion which indicates the disease is felt, put directly over the spot a fly blister, about the size of your thumb nail, and let it remain for six hours, at the expiration of; which time, directly under the surface of the blister of the blister, may bo seen the felon, which can be immediately taken out with the point of a needle or a lancet.” An Economical Dish.—Steam or boil some mealy potatoes; mash them together with some i butter or cream, season them, and place a layer at the bottom of the pie-dish ; upou this place a layer of finely chopped cold meat or fish of any kind, well seasoned; then add another layer of potatoes, and continue alternating these with more chopped meat until the dish be filled. Smooth down the top, strew bread crumbs upon it, and bake until it is well browned. A very small quantity of meat serves in this dish. A sprinkling of chopped pickles may be added if handy and when fish is employed, it eats belter if first beaten up with raw egg«. Apple Roll, or Apple Pudding. —Make a paste with one fourth of a pound of butter to one of flour mixed with water, not very stiff.— Peel, and slice rather thick, tart apples, roll the paste very thin, . or as thin as the bottom crust so j as to cover it, dredge on a little I flour and roll it as tightly as pos- i "ible. Cut tfip ends even and put it in the steamer, or wrap it in a thick cloth and boil it It will take one hour steady cooking. Serve with butter and sugar. Cut it in thin slices from the end when serving. Tapioca Pudding.—Put one teacup of tapioca to one quart of water, one hour, in a shallow dish. Then sweeten to taste, and flavor with lemon. Have ready six large •our apples, pared and quartered, to be placed over the top of the dish, with the round sides up: sprinkle a little salt over them; bake until the apples are done.— Eat with cream when cold. Tomato Ketchup.—To half a bushel of tomatoes add one quart of good vinegar, one half pound of salt, two ounces of black pepper, one ounce of allspice one ounce of cloves, one teaspoonful of cayenne, six onions, and two pounds of brown sugar; boil steadily for three hours, then strain through a sieve and bottle. Cookies.—One cup of sour milk, *two eggs, one-half cup of butter, one cup of sugar, half a nutmeg grated, one teaspooafui of cinna mon, caraway seed if desired, on< taaspoonful of saleratus; mis hard with flour ; roll ven-thin and bake in a quick oven
